Single line called key to BMW plant's future
GREER -- A nimble assembly plant simultaneously building multiple models and easily and efficiently adding new models is the future BMW Manufacturing Co. officials see for the Greer plant. The plant spent about $100 million converting from a Z4 line and an X5 line to a single assembly line about a year ago. Now the plant makes X5 sports activity vehicles, Z4 and M roadsters and Z4 and M coupes on the same line simultaneously. Z4 models are sandwiched between X5s on the line, with the current ratio about three SAV models to every two roadsters or coupes, said Greg Bunner, a plant spokesman. The combined line is more efficient because the roadster is a seasonal car and the single line gives the plant more flexibility without leaving a line out of use for extended periods of time.
Workers pump oil from British wreck; rescuers try to save birds
LONDON -- Wildlife workers combed a 100-mile stretch of beach yesterday, trying to rescue birds covered in oil after thousands of gallons leaked from a stricken cargo ship off England's southwest coast. Half of the more than 1,000 birds that washed ashore in the past few days have been taken to wildlife centers around Lyme Bay, where the British ship, the MSC Napoli, was deliberately run aground last week after being damaged in a storm. "These are very thin, very hungry birds," said Tim Thomas, a scientist with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "They've been traumatized." Most were guillemots -- diving birds particularly vulnerable because even a spot of oil can make their plumage lose its waterproofing. Once at the wildlife centers, the birds are fed water mixed with charcoal and clay to flush the oil from their stomachs, and are sheltered for up to a month before being cleaned with detergent, Thomas said.
ABOUT THE X5
The latest incarnation of BMW's X5 sport utility vehicle is bigger, faster and pricier than the versions that have been in production in Spartanburg County since 1999. • The base price for the six-cylinder X5 3.0si is $46,595 — a $3,400 increase from the cost of the previous version. • The eight-cylinder X5 4.8i costs $55,195 — up $900 from its 4.4-liter predecessor. • The 2007 model year cars is 7.5 inches longer, about 2 inches wider and 2 inches taller. Also, they are slightly heavier than the previous versions, but they both carry newer BMW engines that are more powerful and fuel efficient than previous versions, according to BMW. • The bigger size allows for the option of a third seat in the back — something in particular demand among U.S.
